December 10, 2009 3 Night Bahamian Cruise

[DLW8]

you didn't get the free dining pin for December yet?? I know they started coming out about a week or 2 ago....i got 1 on monday. I hope you get one soon!

Nope, I've been checking all my emails, did some vacation planning online to generate some thought from Disney that I'm thinking about it....nothing yet. But maybe the Visa will have one like they did last year...

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Well, we paid off our cruise and got our first set of documents in the mail today!!



Woohoo!

 

[cruisinpenguin]

We got our mailer today from DCL too!! Still need to pay off our cruise.

 

[29apr00]

YAY we got the docs today too! Sooo excited to sit down and read them!

I have to pay it off too...but i'm still waiting for some final answers from DFTW before we pay off.

 

[DLW8]

We will get our docs this early? Really? WOW - obviously I haven't gotten mine yet....or a PIN. Still waiting for anything fun for our planning.

I am on vacation this week with the kids and it is forecasted for RAIN RAIN and more RAIN all week. UGH.

 

[DLW8]

Well after all my waiting, finally the Visa free dining comes out but we won't save any money!!! We got a better deal with our land/sea package including dining and park passes....

Oh well....at least now I know and can just keep an eye out for any other package discounts that may help us....

And we did get the first package from DCL....with the little brochures and whatnot. Very nice set of brochures....and I love the new DCL website. I already filled out our flight documents. Just need to pay off the cruise in September so we can do the rest of the docs and have an even closer countdown!!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Yeah, free dining did nothing for me either. We have a 40% military discount on our room at BLT, so we'd have to go value or mod to make it worth it to switch. I was hoping for room only discount so I could afford AKL for one night. Boo hoo. Well, we may try to do it anyway. The deal we got for our cruise was so good, we may have extra $$ for that!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Well, now room discounts came out and I was able to start my magic a little earlier!! We did get to add one night at the beginning at AKL - savannah view/bunk beds!!! We're going to surprise the kids - they know about the trip but this will be a surprise. We got about 30% off the room and we won't be needing tickets that day nor dining (we'll pay OOP). Plus we can pay for it with our Disney Visa rewards!! Basically, it will be free!

getting close!! Scheduled my dress fitting today! 10/3

DD's 6th birthday is this weekend! All last year when we were planning this i kept saying dd had 2 bdays' to get thru before our trip came up....well now here is her bday! I can't believe we are almost down to 4 months!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

YIPPEE!! Time is actually cruising along - we get to make plans and the tickers are moving!
I think when we hit 4 months we're going to need a party!

Happy 6th to your DD!

 

[DLW8]

I do a mini celebration at each month's milestone!

The room only discount didn't help me either - still a better deal with the land/sea package that I got.

My countdown is now til when I can make ADRs for WDW...that is coming up VERY quickly.

Congrats on the birthday AND the dress fitting!

 

[29apr00]

we get to make ADR's the day after my bday!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

You sure have lots of celebrating!! Congrats!!

 

[LD NURSE]

Oh my!! We are getting close. I remember when we were 500+ days out. All my co-workers laughed at me. Now they are like, 128 days, WOW! How many do we have up for the FE? I might have bought too much stuff...

 

[disneyfreak1]

9 cabins in the FE so far, but we are still 4 months away. I'm sure we'll pick up more between now and then. If you need the specific list, just let me know and I will email it to you.

 

[DLW8]

FOUR months to go!!! Woo hoo! I love a good countdown.

Before I know it, I'll be making my ADRs for the land portion of our trip. Just hope we can get what we want since now they offered free dining.

 

[LD NURSE]

My parents may not get to go If they don't, a secret verandah room will open up. I will post here first if they have to cancel.

Well that's a bummer. Hope everything is okay.

120 days from today - VERY exciting for me!!!
